How to change the keyboard?Support

I've had the X10 a week now, changed the keyboard to and from the stock Android keyboard when I first had it - but now I can't recall how to change it back again (I'm sure someone's been messing with the phone because i've not changed the keyboard in the past few days).

I've tried chaging in Setting > Locale and Text, but its clearly not there...

To change your keyboard, go to where you are composing a message. When the keyboard appears, press and hold on to the screen where the 'type to compose' box. A box called 'Edit text' will appear, click Input Method to change keyboards!

The x10 is my wifes and i want to put the htc keyboard on it and looked how to do it. just wondered it not like ROMing it is it or is it just a case of putting the right files on the x10? i dont want to brick her new phone you see

The phone doesn't have to be rooted (which currently isn't possible but they are working on it). To use the HTC keyboard you will have to turn on untrusted sources in the applications settings. It's a straight install if you do it straight from the phone, otherwise you will need to 3rd party program to install the APK file from the memory card. Much easier to download and run the apk straight from the phone though (once untrusted sources is turned on)

Have tried to update the keyboard to HTC for ease but having major problems with the X10 software provided - Media Go. Is there anything better available and more user friendly??

The software is downloaded, extracted and ready to transfer but unable to transfer it to the phone. Says the file type is not compatable.

Have followed your instructions to the letter but am now stuck. Any ideas what I am doing wrong as I am keen to get the best of my brand new toy.

Any help appreciated.

Have also downloaded juice defender and will give feedback once I see how it behaves.

Best wishes

When you connect your phone to your PC via the USB cable, you should get a notice asking you if you want to 'mount' your memory card to copy to/from your phone. This notice is actually on your phone, not your PC. Once you've mounted your memory card, you can view it as a mass storage device and just drag and drop files in to it like a USB memory stick. The media Go software isn't needed but you still have you 'mount' in order to use it

also, Juice defender is a great app. Make sure you keep the performance multiplier widget on your home screen so you can monitor how much extra performance you're getting

I have been using Better Keyboard and the Android & Me skin, I like it but I have tried a few others like the HTC keyboard , I tried an app called Slide Screen Pro which while you type you can slide your fingers across the keyboard without hitting every key, It seems ok but everyones typing methods are different.

Ive nearly cracked it....one problem when i get to the final install it says 'install blocked'...For security your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced to the android market.....anyone any ideas what to do...

Tick the little box that allows install of non market apps. Only the third time I've mentioned having to do that in this thread alone. Its in the settings section of the little pop up box you had pop up saying install blocked
